Starship Modeler Discussion Forums

Here's what I'm trying to do. I'm attempting to build an Alaska class ship for a local starship club. http://pre13.deviantart.net/3d5b/th/pre/f/2016/196/6/c/battle_cruiser___alaska_class_by_kelso323-d70qd6z.png It has elements of the excelsior and the ent A. The dish and nacelles of the excelsior an...

Hey guys. I've done some scratch builds before. But when it came to painting I've just gone for a single color, or just went really simple. I have a ship that I'm working on for a local star ship club captain. It's a modified excelsior, known as the Alaska class. http://pre13.deviantart.net/3d5b/th/...

yep more than me . i'm still finding pieces and letting the parts talk to me and tell me how they want to go together.

so M3 hows about it any updates??

welcome to the party! can't wait to see what you have and what you come up with.

yeah and that's just the ones that i thought fit the build. i have boxes of stuff. i've started separating them into shoe box sized plastic container sections that i think they fit into. bridges, nacelles, impulse engines/crystals, rockets. canopy's, pylons/ wings, structural pieces, ect...... i'm s...

Look at this stuff Isn't it neat? Wouldn't you think my collection's complete? Wouldn't you think I'm the guy The guy who has ev'rything? Look at this trove Treasures untold How many wonders can one modeling section hold? Lookin' around here you'd think (Sure) he's got everything I've got gadgets an...

ok boys and girls, time for another update. alot slower coming than i thought they would be. new house, so the to do list has become huge. :cry: :cry: but here we go. the main ship is starting to form up as the parts start talking to me. it seems like it's going to form up looking kind of similar to...

It tells me your alblum is private.

One, that is going to make one huge ship/station. And second, holy cow! That is a lot of molds. Not only on the table in front of you, but that work bench in the background!!!!!! :shock: What are they all of? I only copy shapes made of stuff that I can't get paint or glue. And I have a couple where ...

Okee dokee, we finally have a proper thread for us to stretch out in. So here we go. I haven't gotten as much "parts" shopping done as I would have liked. Still unpacking. But I don't care. I finally have a house to call home. No more renting. Yay! The plan: is at least a 2 part project. O...

It's not a whole lot. But here is the start of my stash for this. https://m.imgur.com/DcNVi7v https://m.imgur.com/PigtaiE https://m.imgur.com/jxZ2gUx https://m.imgur.com/WwesHKf Like I said. Not much. But I've been window shopping while we've been doing all of this house stuff. So after pay day on F...

Team mid west is not complete. M3 has it right now. He said he's going to fire it back up soon.

So M3 any update on this?

Check party stores too. They have tons of different shaped plastic bowls,plates and such. And a lot of different shaped utensil handles. And so much, much more. And their usually not bad on price. I think I'm going to be doing a station with a ship either docked, or orbiting. I might even make some ...

Yay! I'm in my new house!!!!! :beer: :beer: :beer: Now I just need to unpack. So this weekend will be shopping for parts for this challenge. I've already got a pretty good idea what I'm doing for this build. Especially with a year to do it in I'm going to go all little big. And I even have a plan fo...

Shouldn't he be at the top I f the list😜

Moving into my new house this weekend.close on Wednesday! I'll get my pics then and will start my build up. Nice clean workspace, and I'll know where everything is for once. Lol.

might need adhesion promoter to get paint and glue to stick to it. most of those are made of that rubbery plastic like the hasbro x wing and falcon. just a heads up.

M3 what's up with the model? Or any one that has it or knows? Is it done? Has it gotten lost? Is it just sitting in a box in a dark corner somewhere all alone crying itself to sleep every night? Oops, sorry got a bit over dramstic there. But if it's not getting worked on and Is still able to be foun...

Ooooooo, I like it! That's good dificult piece to add. Challenge excepted. You might see if one zero could give you a list opp f female members. Then you could pm the directly and ask for volunteers. My wife said she would if you need judges. She not a member yet as she doesn't model. And, well, she...

I think I'm going to add an extra challenge to myself. I'm going to try to see how many plastic wares I can utilize. Knifes, spoons, forks, glasses, ect. I can fit into this thing. Hopefully I can sneak a lot in. Might hit up the wedding cake section, see how many parts I can use there too. We aught...

I wouldn't complain. I'd do back flips down the street if my wife wanted to start model building. speaking of the traveling models. I know it's a sore nerve, what ever happened with those?

I'm in then! YAY!

Wow! I've been gone from modeling an this site for like 6-10 months an I come back just in time for this! I'm in! I just bought a house that I'll be moving Into in abouva month so I'll be packing/looking at all my parts. So I could plan this out nicely. Andsinc my bench will be getting cleared and r...

Wow i fell off the modeling grid for a few months. My new classic car took all my spare time. But now that winters back so am i! Ni e to see this didn't just die off. Beautiful work Hermes. I think there's more bondo on the model now than my car. LOL Btw Hermes, you asked what the yellow nacelle and...

Whooo hooo she's on the move again! Progress.

Imagur my friend and kick the bucket! I did and haven't looked back.
